Monday, June 25, 2018: Today I had a rough day. It started yesterday. I figured my mood was because I was exhausted. I usually stay up all night editing my blog over and over until it is just right or until I can’t look at it anymore because I am going to be ill. In my head, it has to be perfect. Yesterday I didn’t want to do anything. Why can’t you have one day where nobody wants anything from you and doesn’t ask any questions and quite honestly, doesn’t even know your name? +8
This is a perfect subject because I believe you have to see the humor to get through menopause. Otherwise, it may become a viable reason for defense in a court of law for why we may physically hurt people during these years…
June is National Pride Month, when we honor the struggle for equal rights and celebrate the LGBTQ+ community, it seemed fitting to talk about the story of how I learned Roberta was part of that community.
Happy Sunday my friends! I was overwhelmed by the response and amount of views on last week’s post and I thank you so much for the support! The feedback lead me to believe there was a need to continue the conversation about addiction and psychological disorders. This week I am going to discuss prevention. How we are going to try to prevent another one of my children, Isabella, from a co-occurring disorder.
Three of my kids have had to deal with learning disabilities and/or psychiatric disorders; Joey has Down Syndrome, my son Artie, has ADD with a reading disability and my Isabella was diagnosed with ADHD. I refused to put either one on any medication because I never believed that was the answer. Addiction is hereditary and runs in the family, so I always stayed away from anything that could be addicting.
Happy Mother’s Day to All you Beautiful Women! We are a special group of selfless human beings. As soon as we have our first child, we drop to second place. In my case – I spent a lot of years in 6th. One of the reasons I love my husband so much is because he started in 5th place, was soon dropped down to 7th and never complained. Poor guy stayed there for a long time. In the last few years, he has been moving up in rank as the kids have moved on and out. These days he bounces up and down between 3rd and 4th depending on who is around or if our Bella is home from college. +19
Although I was a victim of so many different forms of sexual harassment for the better part of my teenage years and 20s, I am only going to pick a few instances for today. Otherwise, it would just be too much for one blog. By the time I was 15, I was done being a victim of anyone’s sexual deviance, enough was enough.
